You know, he's a bit tough to pin down. After rightfully blasting the p! ss out of Bush and his kid brother over Iraq, I'm not so sure he commits troops to Syria. I think we'd get a lot of bluster and then when the locals routed ISIS (Kurds or the Iraqis in Ramadi recently) he'd call a press conference taking credit for it!

Even the Bush fortune has to draw the line somewhere when the chips are down.

Meanwhile, in Bernie's backyard...

I have to ask a serious question here. A lot of people base Sanders general election viability on his ability to draw large crowds, which is an entirely reasonable basis to use. However, is it somewhat worrisome that Donald Trump is drawing the same or larger crowds, and in Sanders hometown? Especially as it relates to a general election matchup between these two?

It's on in my workplace. Every time I pass the TV they are doing another OBAMA OUTRAGE!!!!11! story.
I did see an interesting piece about the number of times each candidate has been on each talk show. Trump was leading overall but as opposed to the other shows that he has appeared 6 or 8 times on, on Fox he has only been on twice. I guess Rupert in not his friend.
But they probably think that since they've only got another year to play pin the tail on the negro they better move all their old inventory of conspiracy pieces to make room in the warehouse for Hillary Outrage.

Re: Campaign 2016 - Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
It's too early to say anything definitive about general election viability, but I think those who are making those comparisons right now are using heat polling which shows Bernie doing better than Hillary against each possible GOP challenger (including Trump). The argument on crowd, though, would be that viability relates to turnout which is indicated by large crowd, so you'd rather oppose a candidate who draws large crowds with another who draws large crowds than one who draws flies. I don't really buy this argument, but there's nothing inconsistent about it.

There was a piece a few days ago that said Jeb thinks Dubya is the most popular ex-president. That family may just live in a yes man bubble and have no idea they are reviled by half the country and kinda awkwardly ignored by the other half.

Both campaigns tap into the same sentiment that we are being ill served by our elected leaders and that there needs to be a fundamental change in the way the government dors business. B & T would do it differently, and I question how much would actually get done given that most of the Congre$$ and media are already bought.
Re: Campaign 2016 - Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
My worry as someone more aligned with Sanders than Trump is that if crowd size is in fact the biggest determinant of electoral success, we're in deep doo doo. I don't picture Sanders being able to complete with Trump's celebrity.

Well, if Bernie actually wins the nomination that will be proof that Hillary would have even been worse -- res ipsa loquitur.
As a Bernie supporter I see no way Bernie overtakes Hillary short of Hillary having a serious health issue, and even then I think the establishment would whip out another candidate to make sure the Wall Street fix was still in. I don't think it's going to be an issue.
A Bernie-Trump race would however be very interesting, since the grassroots from both sides would be represented. Like the all-ECAC final a few years ago, it would guarantee the bad guys had already lost.

Vermont, despite its liberal reputation, has a significant population of tea bagger rednecks.

He technically said most popular among Republicans. But your point about the bubble is spot on.

This is about Trump supporters, but it explains the entire purpose of Fox News and hate radio.

Re: Campaign 2016 - Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
Finally have some 2016 polling on the clown nomination.
Trump leading, as befits the representative of the party's intellectual core. Cruz is the Next Clown Up. Everybody else is expired dog food.
